Toilet chip repair in Covington without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Covington
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Covington. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Covington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Covington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Other services in Covington
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
